Chimp pays back Pioneer$/Ranger$



http://www.whitehouseforsale.org/ContributorsAndPaybacks/


The report, Homeland Unsecured: The Bush Administration’s Hostility to Regulation and Ties to Industry Leave America Vulnerable, details how the Bush administration has failed to harden our defenses against terrorism and secure the most vulnerable, high-impact targets. The report is based on an analysis of five key areas – chemical plants, nuclear plants, hazardous material transport, ports and water systems.

The report suggests that this is in part because industries representing the five homeland security areas examined in this study collectively have:

Raised at least $19.9 million for the Bush campaigns, the Republican National Committee or the Bush inauguration since the 2000 cycle.
Provided 10 Rangers and 20 Pioneers – individuals who raise at least $200,000 and $100,000, respectively – to the Bush presidential campaigns. Additionally, these industries spent at least $201 million lobbying in Washington between 2002 and June 2004.

1. $4,000,000?
Yeah, that'll make him turn and look the other way.

2. Here's a little more on the Bushrangers:
The first link is a story about all the people who were given cushy ambassador jobs for having been major Bush fundraisers.

The last two links are general information about Bush's Rangers/Pioneers.
